# Uninstall Anti-Cheats

Completely uninstall the following anti-cheat software, as they **block the loader from working**: **Faceit AC**, **Riot Vanguard**, and **ACE (AntiCheatExpert)**.

1. Close all games and launchers (Steam, Ubisoft Connect, Riot Client, etc.).
2. Open **Control Panel** → **Programs** → **Programs and Features**\
   (or press **`Win + R`**, type **`appwiz.cpl`**, and press **Enter**).
3. In the list of installed programs, locate **Faceit Anti-Cheat**, **Riot Vanguard**, and **ACE / AntiCheatExpert**.
4. Right-click each one and select **Uninstall**.\
   Follow the prompts until the uninstall is fully complete.
5. **Restart your PC** after uninstalling all listed anti-cheats.\
   This step is mandatory or drivers may stay loaded in memory.
6. After rebooting, make sure they are fully gone:
   * Press **`Win + R`**, type **`services.msc`**, press **Enter**
   * Confirm there are **no services** related to Faceit, Vanguard, or ACE still running
   * If any remain, uninstall again or remove them before continuing
7. Do **NOT** reinstall these anti-cheats unless you plan to play games that require them.\
   Reinstalling them will cause injection to fail.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Important notes:**

* Riot Vanguard installs **kernel-level drivers** and always requires a reboot to fully remove.
* Faceit AC may reinstall itself if you open the Faceit client again.
* Having even **one** of these installed can prevent the loader from opening or injecting.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.closetware.store/guide/atlas-spoofer/setup-requirements/uninstall-anti-cheats.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
